WRITTEN ON A STONE.
A Message That Told tho Fate of q Party OF
Early Prospectors In the Black Hills.

Spearfish D. To- Register.
From time to time, since the settlement of the
hills, relics of former occupancy by whites have
been found in the richer placer camps primi-
tive sluice-box here, a pick and shovel there, an
Abandoned shaft somewhere else all buried be-
meath the accumulated drift of years-mute evil
dences of hardy pioneers, who, leaving their
homes and loved ones in search of gold, were
never heard from more. The Indians to whom
these hills were Mecca, SO to speak, might
have thrown light on the fate of these early ad-
venturers, but the subject was never so far as
we have ever heard, mentioned to the hated
pale-faces
Last Monday, as Mr. Louis Thoen was collect
ing stone for the foundations of the new block,
working near the foot of Lockout, in the middle
draw, he pried up large fiat rock from a pro-
jecting point and noticed that q smaller hat
piece under it had what appeared like writing on
its face Picking it up carefully and brushing
the dirt from it, he found that it really was
carved, as if with knife point He took the
find home, washed it carefully, and to his sur
prise found the opposite side also carved, but
not so deeply. Mr.. Thoen brought the tablet
down town, and kindly left it the Register Of
fee till Monday evening. thus giving all who
heard of it an opportunity to see. and decipher
it, of which chance scores took advantage. The
upper side bore the inscription:

We are often told to initiate nature
Still, we shouldn't initiate her too literally
We needn't dress in green velvet through
the summer because she does.
The perfect lawgiver is just temper
between the mere man of theory, who can
see nothing but general principles, and the
mere man of business, who can see nothing
but particular circumstances.
The cultivation Of good nature and
speaking Of others as We would have them
speak of us, according to the spirit of the
golden rule, would very soon cure the moral
disease of scandal in all who are afflicted
with it.
The real life of the heart is always un-
folding in silence, and men of large natures
carry in the center of their hearts a secret
garden or a silent wilderness. If there are
no heart words for full human feeling, how
much less for divine!
No individual can attain to true man
illness or womanlness without 10 ying and
laboring for others. The good of each is
bound up in the good Of all, and no one can
live to himself alone. The effort 10 do so
results only in feebler, poorer, weaker self,
There are few better evidences of med
iocrity of character and incapacily for action
than readiness to consider every question
from every point Of view. Action demands
above all things rapidity, decision. What
is most wanted in the business Of life is the
instinct of affairs, experience. observation,

And in the old dead days of the past they
had been almost betrothed lovers.
The hot blood rushed to her cheeks; she
turned away, with the torn letter grasped
in her trembling hand.
She put on her hat--for the day was
done-and left Madame Dupent's for the
last time.
! Out in the street, she was hurrying on
with eager steps-she wanted to get to the
shelter of her little dark room in the tene-
meRt house where she could be alone, to
think over the strange, improbable CON
tents of the torn letter which she still
grasped unthinkingly in her gloveless
hand.
And then fate took up the tangled skcin,
and proceeded to straighten the difficulty.
She was turning the corner of a retired
street when, raising her eyes, they fel! full
upon the face of tall, dark, handsome
man, coming toward her from the opposite
direction.
She fell back with little cry. od
For the first time in nearly three years
she was face TO face with Lee Gilbert!
The torn letter dropped from her nerve
less grasp and lay upon the pavement at
lfer feet.
He held out his hand with joyful en-
clamation.
"NellH' he painted, "where have you
been all this time? l have sought for you
evcrywherer'
As he spoke his eyes fell upon the letter,
and he stopped to restore it to her.
His quick glance caught sight of his own
name, and in Gertrude Ellis handwriting.
A moment later, and in spite of Nell's pro-
testations, impcled by impulse, he had
glanced it over, and knew the truth at
last.
He stood staring into the girls confused
face like one bewildered.
"Thank Godr' burst from his lips at
last. Il owe Miss Ellis thousand thanks
for restoring me my freedom! Nell, tell
me, is it true that you are married to rich
old man?"
81! Married@ Nell's voice painted in
dignantly. never thought of such
thing! Who told you so, Mr.. GilbertP"
'She-Gertrude Ellis. had sought you
in vain for months; when she finally told
me of your marriage to wealthy old man.
In jealous and pique l asked her TO be my
wife! 1t seems now that her heart has re-
turned to its first love; for which am not
sorry. Nell, will you be my wife? The
street is unique place for such a declara
ton, but you ought to know that l love
you, and cannot be happy without YOU"
So her lover loved her still.
Nell never went back TO Madame Du-
points until she called there to order her
trouSSedu.
Wasn't madame overwhelmed? And
when Nell went TO housekeeping in her
luxurious home, she took Miss Flint to
live with her-her staunch friend and de
fender.

NELL'S LOVER.
BY MRS. f. BURKE COLLINS.

"White satin wedding dress-train two
yards long, and Brussels lace in endless
quantities; veil to match, and-diamonds I!
Nell, 1t would just make you wild to look
at them! All, me! who wouldn't be bride.
just for the sake of such lovely things
Gertrude Ellis ought to be awfully happy!'
Miss Flint laid down her thmbe and
smoothed out the intricate embroidery with
which she was decorating a blue surah
polonaise.
Nell Leighton bent her golden head oyer
the work upon which she was engaged.
Her face had grown very pale, and some
how she dared not lift her brown eyes to
Miss Flint's plain face.
The latter was a spinster of uncertain
age and no claims to beauty.
She did not believe in shams, and utterly
repudiated false hair.
She wore her own spare locks, and neith-
er rouge nor powder found resting place
upon her honest face.
A poor seamstress, but she was richer in
integrity and fearless honesty than many
of the fine ladies tor whom she worked.
"She ought to be very happy, am
surew echoed Nell, family.
Miss Flint tossed her lron-gray head.
'But she's notp' she announced tersely.
''How could any woman be happy who is
deceiving a good, true man?"
Nell lifted her brown eyes with startled
look in their depths.
What do you mean?" she asked Gag
erly,
"This. I'll tell you, Nell, because you
know how to hold your tongue, and it's
not the first secret that I've intrusted to
you, and never regretted it. You see, Nell,
Miss Gertrude Ellis doesn't love Lee Gil,
bert, the man she's going to marry"
"Miss Flintw
"NO, she does not. And worse than all

TESTING HER INNOCENCE,

A poor pale Paris seamstress was arraign-
ell for theft.
She appeared at the bar with her baby of
eleven months in her arms.
She went to get some work one day and
stole three gold coins of ten francs each.
The money was missed after she left her
employer, anda servant was sent to claim it.
The servant found her about to quit the
room with the money in her hand.
She said to the servant, ''I'm geing to
carry them back TO you"
Nevertheless she was taken to the COM
missioner of police, and he ordered her to
be sent to the police court for trial.
She was too poor to engage a lawyer, and
when asked by the judge what she had to
say for herself, she replied;
1.-THE day went to my employers car
ried my child with me. l wasn't noticing
it. There were several gold coins OH the
mantel, and unknown to me, it seized three
pieces, which did not observe until | got
home. l was going back with them when
was arrested. This is the solemn truth,
as hope for Heavens mercy"
The judge besought the mother for her
own sake to retract so absurd a story, for
it could have no effect but to oblige him to
sentence her TO a much severer punishment
than he was disposed to inflict upon one so
young and SO poor.
But the mother was firm, and her firm
ness was sustained by a look of innocence
which the most adroit criminal can never
counterfeit.
The court was at a loss to discover what
decision justice demanded.
To relieve his embarrassment the judge
proposed a renewal of the scene described
by the mother.
Three gold coins were placed on the
clerks table.
The mother was requested to assume the
position in which she stood at her employ
er's house. There was then a brealhlesS
pause.
The baby soon discovered the brightcoins,
eyed them for a moment smiled, and then
stretched forth its tiny hand and clutched
them with amiser's eageIness. The mother
was at once acquitted.

this the case with GREENS AUGUsr FLOWER

been added to increase the size Of the bottles

SHATTERED HOPES.

worthless compounds mixed by persons
ignorant of pharmacy. Messrs. q. |. Hood

Sarsaparilla which cannot be substantiated
by the strongest proof. And we say to those
who lack confidence, read the unsolicited
testimonials in favor of Hoods Sarsaparilla,
